So Padme’s grandmother knew about Luke and Leia or at least that her child was alive.

Delving through legends on wookiepedia and found an interesting article about Padme's maternal grandmother Ryoo Thule who she was quite close with and her niece was named after.

In legends she was the one who prepared her body for the funeral and due to this the inquisitors came to ask questions about the children and killed her when she refused to co-operate, it also hints at her being force sensitive, having a precognition on the day of her death something was wrong and knew the inquisitor would kill her.

This echoes the scene of Padme in revenge of the sith looking out at the city towards the Jedi temple knowing something was wrong. I will always despise the complete erasure of the Naberrie family with them only being seen at her funeral and in deleted scenes.

I find it interesting her grandmother was killed by inquisitors for protecting Luke and Leia's birth and there isn't a single mention in canon media, and has almost been lost in legends as well.

Man that’s just depressing.
